The point wasn't that people shouldn't try, but that you suggested that people's work was something that could be easily done in 15 minutes, therefore belittling their efforts. Have some respect for work that people have put time and effort into, if you think it is too simplistic, feel free to make your own instead of being negative.

That's was what you were trying to say in that sentence? Really?

I remember pulling my hairs trying to line up the teeth on the cowling of this bloody Noop for many many hours.

That's Rise of Flight, which doesn't have the same features for making skin weathering and panel lines that Clod does. Go back in this thread, all of the skins posted here are not difficult to make, not to take anything away from the artists, but the IL-2 ones that I posted above take much more work and time to get similar results. Weathering has to be applied by hand, and panel lines have to be maintained intentionally. For CLOD, all you have to do is drag the "weathering/wear" slider.

Look at the skins posted in this thread again. They look nice, but they are actually pretty simple to make. I've already described the steps earlier, but look at the individual sections of colour. There are no gradient fills, no real smudging or blurring, just straight colours overlaid over the skins. The only skin that I've seen that would require an real time invested is this one...

Its not that simple. I just downloaded the template for the spitfire and you are making it out to be a lot simpler than it is. It makes you come across as either trolling or jealousy if you are willing to attack other people's work but haven't made anything yourself.

No, actually it's easier to make great skins for rise of flight, since they release very good layered templates.
I'm no skinner. I played around with photoshop a few times and with my limited experience, I can tell you are either trolling, or not really know what you are talking about.
If you just draw random lines wherever it's convenient on a skin, it's easy. If you try to make the skin match a speciffic aircraft, things get a bit more labour intensive.
The skins posted here match certain historical aircraft, and even tanks. There's a quite a bit of work involved to get things right.
I'd like to see you do a skin for a historical aircraft in 15 minutes.

When you have access to photoshop and have time, we can try that. We'll post a profile here for a random aircraft and you provide even a half decent finished skin, to match the profiles, in 15 minutes.

A page or two back, I explain how to use layers and "historical 3 View Drawings" to quickly and easily make exact replications of historical skins by using them as transparent layers and tracing over them. I even explained the best places to find source materials for proper colours and these three view examples.

I'd make a few right now for you guys to judge, all you'd have to do is post some examples of the skins you would like, but like I said before, I'm at a seminar for the next 6 days and I doubt that my colleagues would appreciate me downloading Photoshop and working on planes while we're supposed to be learning about LSIL and HPV.

Maybe if there is interest I could be persuaded to make a youtube tutorial that shows you how to make historical skins, adding custom weathers, and even unique panel lines to represent repair work or field mods.
If anyone was interested,

speculum jockey, since you keep posting IL2 stuff-which has no relevance to CoD Ill just ask have you ever attempted to make a GOOD skin for CoD? Specifically the 109?

I ask because I have seen people try to use they method you describe, and it looks like total poo. I don't think you quite understand what your talking about.
